Late 15th-century collection of Latin astronomical treatises and tables of the 12th through 14th centuries, illustrated with six volvelles and numerous diagrams. The Alphonsine tables have calculations added in the bottom margins for various cities, mostly in Germany, including Erfurt, Magdeburg, Leipzig, Mainz, Nuremberg, Paris, Prague, Regensburg, and Worms (f. 45v-51v), and a colophon dated 30 December 1481 (f. 61v). A leaf at the end of the volume has the Hebrew alphabet and a few Hebrew transliterations, including Magdeburg, carefully written parallel to the spine (f. 95v).
